Faith Moments

{January 1997, Mt. Sinai, 4:30 AM}   

We climb Mt Sinai with flashlights in our hands.  We cling to the rocks.   Camel Jockeys shout in the dim light, “You want Camel?  Twenty-five dollars!”  I reply, “We’re American’s I need no camel to get up this darn mountain.” Our flashlights go out. We stumble faithfully on.
